.195. His OPS is .571 this season -- even worse than his career mark of .701. Ouch.

Jupiter, West Palm Beach

The worst is past us now, but we were stuck in the NE quadrant of the storm, which is the worst. Tornados and lots of rain, and strong wind gusts. This was tame compared to others I’ve been in.

if .200 is the Mendoza Line

can we make .195 the Patterson line? :)

by DWChaney on Aug 19, 2008 9:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

wait till the season is over

Something tells me the Patterson line will be lower than that

I think E-Pat is even lower...

I wish that Marmol would have walked Bako.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Cueto lifted for a PH.

I like this

it’s efficient baseball. You score one more run than the other guy, and you save the rest of the runs for another day. Find the right place, and you can get 5% interest on those saved runs, too.
